SUMMARY:Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk 2011
DESCRIPTION:Join the River in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer! The American Cancer Society's Making Strides Walk is May 7th at Rosa Parks Circle. Registration starts at 8 AM and the walk begins at 9 AM. Kim Carson will be your emcee! Your reason for walking in the Making Strides walk is as unique and special as the story that motivates you. This is your opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors\, remember people we have lost\, and raise funds and awareness to help end this disease. The Making Strides event is not a race; it is a celebration of survivorship\, an occasion to express hope\, and a shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love. When you participate in the Making Strides event\, you’re helping create a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays - where breast cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life. Your support enables the American Cancer Society to save lives by: * Helping people stay well by educating and empowering women to live healthy lives and reduce their risk for breast cancer\, and to get screening tests such as mammograms to find breast cancer early\, when it is most treatable * Helping people facing breast cancer get well by providing information\, day-to-day help\, and emotional support to guide them through every step of their breast cancer experience * Finding cures by investing in and conducting research that leads to groundbreaking discoveries into breast cancer’s causes and cures * Fighting back by working with lawmakers to support laws that help women battle breast cancer and help all women get access to screenings and care Join us for a few hours of exercise\, inspiration\, camaraderie\, entertainment\, and most importantly\, to honor someone you know who has been affected by breast cancer. Support The River's Team!

SUMMARY:A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
DESCRIPTION:100.5 The River has teamed up with the Grand Rapids Civic Theater for their performance of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum! As a River Loyal Listener\, you can get tickets to the show on the nights of June 6\, 7\, 13\, and 14 for $5 off your total purchase by using the promotional code FUNNY when ordering your tickets! A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is light\, fast-paced\, irreverent and one of the funniest farces ever written! Using Roman theatre and modern farce as the inspiration\, Forum creates a non-stop laugh-fest in which a witty and conniving slave (Pseudolus)\, attempts to win the love of a beautiful - but slow-witted -courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero)\, in exchange for his freedom. Keeping true to origins of farce and slap-stick comedy\, nothing in this plan goes the way Pseudolus intends -much to the delight of the audience. The show runs now through June 17th at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater. For information on the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre or to purchase tickets\, call 616-222-6650 or visit www.GRCT.org.
